Does Bartleby look pure corgi or mixed?

Bartleby is still a growing pup (over 5 months old now)and that's why he's so skinny, but I've received multiple comments from people asking what he's mixed with. Another corgi owner I ran into out with him today said his legs looked long for a corgi. I've noticed comparing Bartleby to other corgis that his snout seems skinnier. I saw both his parents and they were both… Continue

An Amazing True Story

Yesterday, we went out in the Gulf Coast (Corpus Christi, Texas) to try out my Dad's new boat. The waves were three feet and there was a violent rip current. My Corgi, Dewey, and I were thrown out of the boat and into the sea. Thankfully, before that happened I put on Dewey's life jacket. My brave Corgi swam through all of this. Two fisherman grabbed Dewey by his life jacket handle and pulled him up to dry land. He waited on the shore, until I swam in and the boat made it in. What a wonderful… Continue

On Work Travel

Hi Everyone!

 

I just joined MyCorgi.com today.  I am excited to already be receiving feedback on my posts!  Thank you all for your compliments to my little guy.  I'm currently on work travel.  I have been out of town now for almost three weeks and I am missing my pup so badly it hurts.  I spend a lot of time every night looking at his photos and end up going to sleep way too late!  I did get to talk to him on Skype the other night.  My husband said that he was really…

THE HOSE!

Pay It Forward

We adopted LeeLoo through a rescue.  The amount of time, gas, patience and work that went into getting me my dog is incredible, especially from people who rescue or foster for no money or recognition. 

I have been a volunteer for the Vanderburgh Humane Society for about 6 years now.  On Sunday, I'll be helping with my first transport since adopting LeeLoo and it finally makes sense to me why this is so important.  I have no plans for Sunday and an 8 year old Brittany Springer Spaniel…

To crate or not to crate that is the question

I am a new dog owner and I've heard crating a dog is a good idea while some feel they are cruel...

can someone help me.

watching him sleep

as i type ah jai is sleeping next to me, breathing gently in and out, totally undisturbed by the turbulence caused by the flickering of my fingers. he sleeps so peacefully, so comfortably, and so full of trust, that it's as if nothing is ever going to harm him as he shut down all his senses to the outside world, because i'm here with him.

and i'm suddenly…

Lando Oliver and fetch.

Gets a little embarrassing. Every time people come over he is all over them to play fetch. I tell him no, but he won't listen. We never crated him so I don't have anywhere to put him. What can I do?

Quest forAl-titude

Many in the pacific northwest are obsessed with the search for big foot.  We, however, spend our weekends trekking the trails in search of Al, the Great Mountain Corgi.

This weekend we bagged our first peak.  So, Al, if you are out there, watch your tail (oops) I mean, little corgi butt.  We could be right behind you.…

Ellie the Poopster

It's been awhile since my last blog post!  My laptop decided to burn out (literally!) and I don't often have time to boot up the 'ol desktop system.  Luckily, I'll be getting a new one soon!

 

My little Ellie girl is growing fast!  She's up to 10 lbs. already (averaging about a 1 lb. gain each week) and is just a little bundle of energy.  She has learned how to sit, lie down and shake.  She has one more booster shot to go before she's finally done for the year (I think!) and…

Flowers & Weeds

Whenever I pull up weeds from my lawn (which is often), or overgrown pacasandra, Pippy is convinced I'm going to throw it and tries to chomp on it. She is always expecting me to throw it, as if it were a ball. Sad thing is, Pippy still hasn't learned to retrieve.

Another thing Pippy likes to do is "help" us out in the garden. However, she doesn't know much about gardening, and frequently sits on the flowers, cracking a big smile and looking satisfied with herself.

She can act…

We love you so much, little Roscoe, RIP.

 

Today Derek and I had to say good-bye to our little boy. Roscoe caught a very strong string of Parvo, and passed away within 36 hours of being diagnosed. He had 2 of the 3 boosters for Parvo, but he was just wasn't old enough for his last one. We were very careful about contact with older dogs, and are floored that this could happen to our little one. The vets said that we did everything possible, but the virus was just too much for Roscoe's body to handle. He was only 10 1/2 weeks…

Roscoe has Parvo.

Hey all.

 

Just a little update about Derek's and I's little one. We took him to the vet yet again this morning, and his Parvo test came back positive. Roscoe and I are back home with every method possible of helping Roscoe fight this virus. Support and advice, per usual, is always welcome and very much needed. Thanks y'all.

 

Katie, Derek, and Roscoe.

Mitz, the self-appointed lifeguard at the dog park.

Morning all!

 

I have to share, because I think only corgi owners can appreciate this as much as I do.

 

Mitzie has made herself the lifeguard of the dog park.  She doesn't go there to frap, sniff, or make friends.  She has a higher calling.  Now, when we get there, she climbs on top of a picnic table and polices everyone.  If anyone is playing too rough, barking too much, or making a child squeal, she launches off her table and flies over to investigate.  If…
